Roslyn's
knowledge, masterful musicianship, and skill at connecting
with her
students, make her a wonderful teacher
to have. I always look forward to my lessons with Ros, both
for the experience of being there, and the musical insight
and skill that I come away with."
Mark Wells, Kelowna, B.C.
"For
the past several years, Roslyn Frantz has been a teacher,
vocal coach and accompanist to our two sons, Michael
Brent, tenor (Manhattan School of Music - New York City;
Master of Music, Vocal Performance Degree Program) and John
David, baritone ( Manhattan School of Music) Bachelor of
Music, Vocal Performance Degree Program). She has been excellent
in her teaching standard of the highest levels. She has really
helped our boys achieve their singing dreams."
Kathleen Joy Jasper, Penticton , B.C.
" Miss Frantz has been a vocal coach and piano teacher to our
daughter for the past 4 years. Miss Frantz is a master musician
and teacher of the highest caliber. Music is a discipline
and an art. Miss Frantz teaches music, the art of music,
the appreciation of music, the respect of music and also
the love of music. Your, or your child, will receive far
more than music lessons."
L. and D. Liddicoat, Penticton, B.C.
" Working with Roslyn Frantz is a great privilege for me; not
only is she a wonderful accompanist but she is also a very
knowledgeable violin coach. With so much experience in the
accompanying field she knows all the great violin and piano
repertoire literally by heart and with so much talent as
a solo pianist she has the technique to tackle anything including
music written right up to the present day. Roslyn is a gold
mine of knowledge and inspiration and is a real joy to work
with!"
Melissa Wilmot, violin student, age 15 Kelowna, B.C.
" Every time I sit at my piano, Roslyn's consummate skill and
gracious spirit inspire me to reach for everything I can
be, and this goes beyond music into my everyday experiences.
She is called and driven to bring music to the masses, yet
has also brought to me on an individual level the belief
of limitless possibility."
Paul Curry-Johnson, Kelowna
" Over the last decade my daughter and I have studied music
with Roslyn Frantz. Her remarkable skill and talent as a
performer are well known. Asher students, we have been amazed
and inspired by her vast musical knowledge base, passion
and inexhaustible energy. It has been a privilege and pleasure
Ros!"
Arja E. Moreau, MD and Elaina Moreau
" Our daughter Nadya is in her fourth year of training with
Roslyn. Roslyn's attention to detail, her own musicality
and knowledge is eagerly transferred to her students. She
knows how to read her students well, and is able to adjust
her teaching skills to suit many different personalities.
Roslyn is able to make the youngest ones at ease, as well
as be appropriately demanding of the senior students. Her
modesty and integrity make her an invaluable mentor for her
students. We are truly fortunate to have someone of this
caliber in the Okanagan."
Linda Corscadden, South Okanagan
"
It is hard to summarize all of Ros's talents in a couple
of short phrases. The lesson that I have learned form her,
I have been able to apply to my entire musical training...
..piano, voice and dance. She is teaching me the three "P"s:
Practicing (correctly), Perfecting (carefully) and performing
(captivatingly). Her sense of humor makes hard work easier."
Nadya Corscadden, student
" I strongly nominate Roslyn Frantz for the KADAC Honor in
the Arts award because she has brought her many 'musica'
talents and experiences to all ages in the Okanagan Valley.
Not only do Ros' music students benefit, the society that
she belongs to benefits, and the community at large benefits."
